Cool! Glad to see you put a vid of it up! It certainly came up cleaner with the Dry Ice. I remember watching vids of people advocating using roofing products instead of finding some real deadener. This makes me glad I never followed that advice. Could you smell the asphalt in the truck?
Definitely thank you for the reminder about freezing it! I found that after 3-4 min, I can peel the aluminum foil off so I had direct contact to the gummy stuff. That made it freeze much better. I swear, there is something corrosive in that substance. In areas where I expected no rust, I saw the start of it. Either there was trapped moisture, or it actually tasted as a result of it. It's definitely a roofing product. Luckily it doesnt smell...
I just bought a "florida" body and it still had rust near all of the seam sealer. Especially near the firewall since the vents usually leak on the floor there.
Im finding the same. The way the panels are welded together leaves holes. And the very old seam sealer is no longer effective. And my truck lived its whole life in NC. All the rust is mainly on the inside...
I don't know the history of the wag but moisture/snow and salt residue tracked in on the driver's shoes (if from the rust belt) would rust like that or worst.
This one is a full time North Carolina vehicle. I have a theory that it may have been near the coast ND salty feet and shoes got in. Everything else is really clean on the outside and underneath, so it didn't get driven on the beaches. I stripped all exterior panels down to steel and found no rust. No matter, floor boards getting fixed in the next chapter. Thanks!

Meh. I’d monetize more but I guess that’s just me
